RomWBW config wants NVRAM; RTC module?

Sorry if this has been addressed before; I have a brand new SC794 setup. Noticed that ROMWBW could store configuration in NVRAM, which I don't have. Is the answer a SC727 RTC module?

Thanks in advance.

I have not explicitly tested the SC794, but it is a standard DS1302 RTC implementation which should work fine with RomWBW including the NVRAM config settings.

Regarding the NVRAM settings, note that this is a new feature. It currently just supports specifying a disk/slice to autoboot and the associated timeout. Additional options will be supported over time including things like specifying the type of floppy drives attached to your system.

Thanks, Wayne

Cool, now I have a reason to get another card ;)

Got the RTC card and it seems to store RomWBW config okay!
